3. Delegate Your BTC in Canada
We recommend using a staking pool when staking BTC. It's simpler and faster to get started. A staking pool is a group of validators who combine their BTC, which increases their chances of validating transactions and earning rewards. You can do this through your wallet's interface.
4. Start Validating
You'll need to wait for your deposit to be confirmed by your wallet. Once it's confirmed, you'll automatically validate transactions on the Bitcoin network. You'll be rewarded with BTC for these validations.
